The first daughter went to the Supreme Court Wednesday to witness proceedings. She came as a guest of Justice Anthony Kennedy, whom she met at an inaugural lunch for her father, who was sworn in as president last month.

Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner, is a senior adviser to the president.

She was joined Wednesday by Arabella Kushner, her 5-year-old daughter.

The pair witnessed the court announcing three decisions, including one in which the death sentence imposed on an African-American in Texas was overruled based on the incompetence of his lawyer, who called an expert witness to testify that blacks had a greater propensity for violence than people of other races.

“This was incompetence,” said Chief Justice John Roberts, saying that violated the defendant’s right to effective counsel.

The court was also supposed to hear an argument in which Kentucky nursing homes want to enforce an arbitration clause that would prevent the families of residents who died in the institutions from suing them in court.
